Supreme Competence

Pastor Colin invites us to reflect on an empowering passage of scripture from 2 Timothy, Chapter 1 and Verse 12, which declares, "I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day." This powerful message reminds us that despite life's uncertainties, we can find solace and strength in our unwavering faith. Pastor Colin focuses on how to navigate life's unpredictability and fostering resilience through faith. Touching on personal experiences and challenging moments such as the sudden loss of young lives, milestones like high school graduation, and the normal transitions of aging, Pastor Colin relates these to Apostle Paul's experience and teachings. Paul's words, written from the loneliness of a prison cell, were meant to mentor and strengthen Timothy against the adversities of life by anchoring him in the relationship with Jesus Christ. Pastor Colin shares that our Christian faith goes beyond knowledge of the scriptures, it's a profound personal relationship with Jesus, a relationship that renews our strength and fills us with confidence no matter what we face. As we conclude, let us carry these words with us: "I know whom I have believed," and let that be the bedrock of our confidence today and always.
